Topic: 18. Indolent and mantle-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma - Clinical Background: Mosunetuzumab (Mosun) is a CD20xCD3 T-cell engaging bispecific antibody that redirects T cells to eliminate malignant B cells. In a pivotal Phase II study (NCT02500407; GO29781), fixed-duration Mosun demonstrated a high rate of complete responses (CRs) and durable responses in patients (pts) with relapsed/refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL) and ≥2 prior lines of therapy. Mosun has a manageable safety profile, supporting its use in an outpatient setting (Bartlett et al. 2022). Aims: We report the efficacy outcomes for pts with R/R FL and ≥2 prior lines of therapy who achieved CR by the end-of-treatment (EOT), with a median follow-up of 28.6 months. Methods: Eligible pts with R/R FL (Grade [Gr] 1–3a) and ≥2 prior therapies were enrolled. All pts provided informed consent prior to study entry. Mosun was administered intravenously in 21-day cycles with step-up dosing in Cycle (C) 1 (C1 Day [D] 1, 1mg; C1D8, 2mg; C1D15/C2D1, 60mg; C3D1 and onwards, 30mg). Hospitalization for treatment was not required. Pts achieving CR by C8 completed treatment with no further cycles; pts with a partial response (PR) or stable disease received up to 9 further cycles (17 in total). The primary endpoint was IRC-determined CR rate (as best response; Cheson 2007 criteria). Exploratory analyses assessed the association between total metabolic tumor volume (TMTV) at baseline (BL), as a surrogate for tumor burden, and clinical efficacy and safety. TMTV was derived from PET images at study entry using an AI-based model (Jemaa et al. 2022). Results: Ninety pts with R/R FL and ≥2 prior therapies were enrolled. Of these, 54 pts (60%) achieved CR as best response: 49 pts (54%) achieved CR at EOT; 1 pt with a CR experienced disease progression (PD) in C8; and 4 pts achieved CR after EOT due to delayed bone marrow confirmation. In the 49 pts with CR at EOT, median age was 63 years (range: 29–90), 82% had stage III/IV disease, and median number of prior lines of therapy was 3 (range: 2–10). As of July 8, 2022, median time on study was 28.6 months. Among the 49 pts who achieved CR at EOT, median duration of CR (DOCR; INV-assessed) was not reached (NR); 24-month DOCR rate after first CR was 65% (95% CI: 39–90). Median progression-free survival (PFS) was NR; 24-month PFS rate was 77% (95% CI: 63–91; Table). Two years after the end of fixed-duration treatment, 67% of these 49 pts remained free of PD or death. Of the 54 pts with CR as best response, 33 pts achieved their first CR by the first mandatory tumor assessment at 3 (±0.5) months (early CR) and 21 pts achieved their first CR after the month 3 assessment (late CR), including 5 pts with a PR that converted to a CR after >8 cycles of treatment. Median duration of response (DOR) was NR in patients with an early or late CR. In pts with PR as best response (n=16), median DOR was 4 months (95% CI: 3–7). Median TMTV at BL (n=82) was 139cm3 (range: 0–4858). No correlation was observed between BL TMTV and best overall response. A higher rate of Gr ≥2 cytokine release syndrome (CRS; ASTCT 2019 criteria) events was observed in pts with bone or bone marrow metabolic disease burden (n=24) versus those without (n=58; 33% vs 14%, respectively). Summary/Conclusion: Fixed-duration Mosun monotherapy demonstrated a high CR rate at EOT in pts with R/R FL, with a high proportion remaining event-free 2 years after EOT. Exploratory analyses did not suggest an association between the timing of the first CR and DOR. TMTV at BL was not associated with response to Mosun; however, Gr ≥2 CRS events were more common in pts with bone or bone marrow metabolic disease burden versus those without.Keywords: Relapsed lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Bispecific, Follicular lymphoma
